But how is that a speedrun? A speedrun pretty much inclines you are playing the game as it was initially made, without needing any speed up key. If you watch the world record run, it takes them 20 minutes to get where i got in 17 minutes.

so what constitutes a speedrun in this video exactly? because you're not dicking around in the grass levelling to 14 and catching all the weedles? most people play the exact same way as what you are, providing they know where to go.
